Hi Rodger, Thank you so much for the help. My line is actually Squire, Thomas Jefferson, etc. I think my Squire is a brother to John, etc. in Wilson. Wasn't John the first white male to marry or be born in Wilson after it was made a county? I may have that wrong. My brick wall is really Rutherford County's Williams Barfield. That man is gonna kill me!!! <vbg> I do want to find John's line though. Thanks again. Mari in Murfreesboro At 08:24 PM 1/6/2008, you wrote: >Mari- I have located 2 Harpoles in Wilson County.
